Sidebarred 

To become sidetracked while browsing YouTube or another video site, usually resulting in forgetting why you were there in the first place and getting mired for hours in a maze of videos that are (or simply looked like they ought to be) funny or enticing.
The other night I was looking for a movie about that new helicopter, but I got completely sidebarred and before I knew it, I found myself watching Coming of Age clips and nearly three hours of my life had just disappeared.

Sidebarred 

The act of ignoring a phone call from an annoying caller after very few rings, aka hitting the "f-you" button. The term is rooted out of the fact that many popular mobile phone models have a sidebar button to ignore/silence calls.
"Dude, I called you last night and you sidebarred me after 2 rings. Wtf?"

"Omg Kelly... this douchebag just called me and I sidebarred him for the third time this week. Why can't he get that I'm just not that into him?!"
